In Table III, I have included none but such palm-leaf MSS , of 
which exact dates and measurements have been recorded. On the 
other hand, I have included all manuscripts, satisfying those two condi- 
tions, records of which were accessible to me : in fact, Table III, so 
far as I know, practically includes all such palm-leaf MSS., of which 
any record exists at all. I do not think it likely that any appreciable 
number of dated and measured manuscripts have been omitted. Those 
entered in Table III belong to the collections, noticed in BendaU’s 
Catalogue of Cambridge MSS., Dr. Milra’s Notices of Sanskrit MSS., 
and Peterson’s and Kielhorn’s Reports on the Search for Sanskrit MSS. 
in the Bombay Presidency.® 
As I have not actually seen and examined any of the manuscripts 
entered in Table III, the only test for determining their material are 
their measurements, especially those of their width. Now there are 
8 The description of this manuscript in the “ Notices ” is wrong. It is said 
to be dated “ L. S, 431 = A. D. 1537,” but at the same time it is described as “ fresh ” 
in appearance. The fact is, the date which is, in numeral words has been wrongly 
read. Ambudhi means ‘‘ seven” ; and the date is Laks. 731 = A. D. 1836. Unfortu- 
nately the manuscript is missing from the Calcutta collection ; I have not been 
able to see it. I may here note that though in the older usage “ ocean ” signifies 
“ four,” in the more modern and in the present usage it means “ seven.” The 
^abda-kalpa-druma gives both meanings. 
9 “ PetersonS” and “ Peterson^ ” in the References of Table III mean Professor 
Peterson’s Third Report, 1884-86 (Extra Number in the Journal, Bombay Branch 
of the Royal Asiatic Society), and his Fifth Report, 1892-95, respectively. 
“ Kielhorn ” means Professor Kielhorn’s Report for 1880-81.
